They're not selfish but I do consider them lucky.... I can't actually afford to make payments to a pension scheme so I don't have one to gripe about. I work for the public sector, my job is very far from easy and I actually run two specialist services now, (note 'run' not 'manage' there's a big difference). I'm not going on strike because the pension stuff just doesn't effect me but I can see why they're angry. When they start striking about the re-grading of jobs, the lack of pay increase for some time and the fact that a lot of us do the work load of two or more people, then I'll be grabbing my coat and placard.
